@Loki @LukeAlmighty I would have been okay with the unimpressive graphics and the lack of a National Dex - but the game just took so many steps back in so many different ways. For example, why does the ORIGINAL Red and Blue have more, better and bigger caves, and way more trainer battles, than Sword and Shield does?

Game Freak is so fucking lazy...

Let's be honest :pepelol:
Bad graphics? ok...
Gameplay downgrade? ok...

Missing pokemon? :drink: Now that is a PR suicide. Did they forgot that their entire catch line is "gonna catch them all"?

When I heard that one, I was so dumb founded, I still haven't fully recovered.

@LukeAlmighty @Loki I mean, there are still tons of Pokemon to catch, especially for people who focus on the main game and never really went for hundred percent.

That said, the fact that they cut over 400 Pokemon, yet brought back the Garbage Pokemon AND the Ice Cream Cone Pokemon was like a giant Fuck You to the fanbase.

Still a ton would be ok for anything else, but that is the problem. This series entire point was to let collectors catch and trade in order to get them all. Even in original, It required 2 games and at least 3 runs through...

But now, they broke the illusion. It's like going to a 5* restaurant, but instead of luxurious surrounding and waiters that smile and laugh at your every bad joke, you hear loud rock and the waiter is bored and smoking.

The food can still be "food wars" level of good, but the illusion of perfection is gone.
